The 9060 is a groundbreaking design from New Balance that combines exaggerated elements of the famous 990 line like its ‘sway bar’, with some help from the 860v2’s N-ERGY midsole, to create a motion-packed upper bursting with life. Finished with a tongue badge which shouts out the jeweled ABZORB forefoot of the 991, leave the 23andMe kit at home because we won't be needing it today.
Now even though the top block is enough to cause a sensation, with its retro-futuristic mood, the 9060 really comes alive in its departure from the archive, into uncharted territories. Built from scratch, the exoskeleton-like outsole is steeped in severity, but like the good kind. Instead of taking the easy route, NB takes the road less paved, making a statement with their prominent pods, which draw influence from off-roading and on-runway...ing.
